All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if successful.

These records are in near mint condition. There are only a few extremely light spindle marks on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is a few faint grubby marks on side 1 but these are minor and overall the labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, all sides are beautifully clean, have a vivid shine and have only the very occasional thin, extremely light line visible in normal light. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible when viewed in very bright white light, but not many and of course nothing remotely serious. The records have no scuffs or blemishes and really are in great shape.

I carefully play tested both the records and they played near perfectly. They lay flat with next to no movement in the record arm on both. The sound produced is superb. Its crisp, dynamic and other than a minuscule trace in the run in has virtually no interference or surface noise. There are obviously no skips, jumps, clicks or any other serious issues. Its an audio experience of very high quality and was a play test to savour.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all legible. There is nowhere near enough wear to cause a weak area or a split and all the edges are strong. The front has a few grubby marks and a very small scuff towards the top right corner but these issues are quite minor. Other than this there is only an extremely faint ring mark on the back to report. Inside the gatefold is in great shape with no issues and its booklet firmly attached, clean and free from any tears or pen marks. Overall the sleeve is in great shape with just the mild corner wear and small issues on the front to report.

It also contains both its original blue Island poly-lined inners in very good+ condition, with no splits or serious issues but some slight creasing and age related discolouring.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure swift delivery.

I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my Ebay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
